554,540 litres of hot beverages consumed by our drilling teams
This equates to nearly a quarter of the volume of a 50m swimming pool worth of tea. In fact, our drillers drink their own body weight in tea every 23 days.
792km
Our drilling teams have drilled over 792km since 1988
The same as drilling the elevation of Everest nearly 90 times
90x
Which is equivalent to drilling 82% of the distance from Land's End to John o'Groats as the crow flies. If travelling by road the lads would be on the outskirts of Sunderland - effectively they've drilled all the way home!
